How it works

A life-changing move,
the right steps…

Your new life in Portugal doesn't begin with a property search. It begins with a conversation. We take the time to understand exactly how you want to live, and then we take you there. The streets, the morning markets, the café where everyone knows your name. Once you feel it, the right home finds you.

01
Remote exploration

We start with a deep conversation about your lifestyle, values, and what the word "home" truly means to you. A personalised area profile is built before you ever book a flight, so your time here counts from the very first day.

02
Discovery trip

Two to four days on the ground together: beaches, restaurants, markets, local schools, and the kinds of neighbours who become lifelong friends. You fall in love with the place first. Everything else follows from there.

03
Property & paperwork

We visit homes together, verify every document, coordinate legal and financial partners, and stand beside you at the notary on signing day. You never navigate the paperwork alone.

04
Integration

Neighbours, doctors, schools, and yes, the local fishmonger who saves you the finest catch of the day. We stay close until Portugal doesn't feel new anymore. Until it simply feels like home.

Who we are

Between us, we bring together licensed consultants, trusted lawyers, and experienced accountants, everything you need to make your move to Portugal smooth, safe, and exactly right for you.

Why we started this

We've lived this process ourselves, which is why we built it the right way.

I'm Kate, born and raised in Portugal. I started Move Easy because I kept watching people make this move without the right support, overwhelmed by bureaucracy, uncertain about neighbourhoods, missing the quiet knowledge that only comes from truly living here. With my team, we give you exactly that: genuine local insight, trusted professionals, and someone who genuinely cares that this works out beautifully for you.

Client stories

People who found
their place

"I had spent nine months looking for a new home. As soon as I saw Sesimbra, the beach, the shops, the restaurants, I knew this was where I wanted to be. You offered me patience, showing me countless places, encouraging me, guiding me. Helping with the paperwork was wonderful, but it is your kind spirit that I most appreciate. I know that you are a true friend."

Scott Lacy 🇺🇸 California → Sesimbra

"The whole experience was brilliant. Kate was a wonderful host she made us feel welcome and spent time with us individually to get to know us and ensure we had the best experience while exploring Sesimbra and Azeitão. By the second morning we knew Sesimbra was home, before we'd looked at a single property."

Ruby A. & Thomas M. Sweden → Sesimbra

"The due diligence alone was worth every cent. Issues in the property paperwork were caught that our own lawyer had missed entirely."
